QTR & 2400 manual rear sheet feed problem mystery

2007-01-17 by Gary Benson

Roy,

I decided to trying printing several differently sized test images
using QTR and the manual rear (roll) sheet feed.  Up to this point, I
had been trying to print only two images, both of which were landscape
orientation and approx. 6x9 inches (actually, just over 9 inches wide)
all on Letter sized paper.

On my system, for whatever reason, if the image is greater than 9
inches wide I have the problem with it not being positioned correctly
and starts printing on the leading edge (right edge! ;-0) of the paper
(ie. not centered).  It seems that if the image is less than 9 inches
wide, it is correctly centered and printed....at least, for all the
test prints I've made so far.  So for me...this is GREAT news!  I can
print using QTR and my 2400 and just keep my images for prints on
letter sized paper less than 9 in wide....easy to do, since I like a
goodly amount of white space around the image in most cases anyways.

Tomorrow evening I'm going to try making some prints on larger size
paper using the rear sheet feed and see how that works out.

I'd be curious to know if you or anyone else finds this anomaly to be
the case on their systems.
